Canada Pushes Back as Carney Strengthens Ties With Europe

0:00Ben Meiselas:Canada is hitting back hard at Donald Trump. No mercy, gloves off. Canada is ready for the fight. We're seeing Prime Minister Carney bringing Canada closer to the European Union, not fully joining the EU, but an alliance between Canada and the EU that's going to strengthen the midpowers to further isolate the United States. We're seeing Prime Minister Carney unite most of the premiers throughout Canada, and we saw strong statements from them in the past 24 hours. Let me show you David Eby, the premier of British Columbia. Here's what he had to say about the despicable, vile piece of trash that is Donald Trump.

0:37Ben Meiselas:Here play this clip. All I can say is that the president is clearly unhinged. Those memes are bizarre. They are disturbing. They are not befitting the leader of the world's largest economy, the world's largest army. It is bizarre. and it also tells me that as Canadians, if we want to have predictability, if we want to have stability, we need to have a diversified trade relationship around the world. We need to be our own best customers and that's what today's message is all about. More from British Columbia Premier David Eby. Here's what he had to say about when he expects this trade war to end.

1:18Ben Meiselas:Hint, hint, not anytime soon. Canada's got elbows up. Donald Trump may have started this thing, but we know how weak and utterly pathetic and vile Donald Trump is. Canada is going to finish it. Here, play this clip. I don't expect this to end quickly. Neither Canada nor the United States are at the table together. We're not talking right now. The president is tweeting unhinged memes about the prime minister. The only hope that we have is ultimately that the American people understand our relationship and support candidates that promote a strong unified relationship between Canada and the U.S. And currently, that is not this administration.

2:06Ben Meiselas:More from Premier David Eby right here. He talks about how in British Columbia, they are now putting up welcome signs that say strong, proud, never the 51st state ever. See you later. Sorry. Here, play this clip. As a reminder of who we are and what we stand for, B.C. will be unveiling new welcome signs at our border crossings. They carry a message that reflects the spirit of this moment. Welcome to B.C., Canada. Strong, proud and never the 51st state. story. Let's also listen to what Jean Cherie has to say, former premier of Quebec. He talks about how the Bombardier has more content in their planes, American content in their planes, than even Gulfstreams.

2:55Ben Meiselas:Here, play this clip. Bombardier has 4 ,500 suppliers. 2 ,800 of them are in the United States. They do business, I think, in over 40 American states. But, you know, the real interesting thing is that Bombardier has more American content in their planes than Gulfstream has in their planes. So if they choose to go ahead with this, not only are they going to shoot themselves in the foot, they're going to shoot themselves in both feet. Powerful indeed. And here's what the EU ambassador to Canada had to say. Let's play it. I think that you're right to mention that we have already a lot and we are doing a lot together.

3:36We have a lot of political dialogue. But what we want to do on both sides is to go further than that, not just a new partnership, but something very, very new and in a way something unique. You know, we want we don't want a new partnership, a new strategic or new name for a partnership. We want to reimagine the relationship between the EU and Canada. Yeah.

4:01Ben Meiselas:And I do want to also highlight this. David Cochran over here on one of the morning shows in Canada. He talked about how now Iceland is getting the treatment as well as Donald Trump changing those maps. Here, let's play this clip. U.S. President Donald Trump's taunts against Canada over the weekend. We're going to show the post. With posts like this, a map of the U.S. flag covering all of North America and Iceland. So welcome to the party, Iceland. Now I want to bring in the head of Midas Canada, Charlie Angus, also leader of the resistance tower. Charlie, great to see you. As always, just want to get your reaction to all of the developments this past week.

4:36Ben Meiselas:Obviously, you have Canada responding to Trump's tariffs, as Canada said it was going to do. And then you have the Trump regime responding to the retaliation or whatever the hell they're doing. A lot of weird memes, a lot of whining, Besson saying really kind of just bizarre, like psychopathic serial killer stuff. And then the Trump regime just behaving like a bunch of babies. We've heard a bunch of premiers over in Canada, you know, just being like this behavior, man, is just like, like y 'all are a bunch of weirdos basically in the United States. Like this is like some real loser weirdo behavior.

5:11Ben Meiselas:What's your reaction? What are people talking about on Midas Canada? What's your reaction? Well, Ben, the response here in Canada right now is absolutely rock solid. I was reading that Prime Minister Carney has an 85 % approval rating. In a country with usually five political parties, that's never, it's never, ever, ever happened. So it shows how strong people are on this. And I think that every single thing we've seen since we walked away from the negotiating table has made us so much stronger because what we're dealing with are degraded, deplorable psychopaths. Pete Hegseth, I mean, I've walked through puddles that are deeper than him, but he's trolling teenage girls who are part of our cadet program.

6:02The anger across Canada over that, that A guy like that backed up by the Pentagon, it shows you the level of malevolence, the level of threat. I mean, Scott Bessence saying we were like yipping dogs. I don't know, Ben, what you're hearing at the border, but I don't hear any yipping dogs on our side of the border. What you're hearing from Canadians is it's over. We're done. So you want to fight? Bring it on. And Donald Trump's memes and threats, like the idea of him putting out a meme of him, like that corpulent creepy guy with the you know the funny splotches all over his hands that he's going to take out mark carney on the ice i mean mark carney's a hockey player like i any canadian would pay money to see you on the ice donald uh but it's like what is this how is this the most powerful country in the world living by deplorable means degraded behavior making threats and now They've threatened us now with new, I can't, is it counter, counter, counter threats?

7:00But what, they're coming after dairy already. We don't export our dairy into the United States, Donald. So are you trying to stone us to death with popcorn right now? Meanwhile, Canadians are saying, yeah, it's going to be a fight. It's going to be a long fight. We're hunkering down and we're just waiting to see what they do next. If they do anything credible or deplorable or psychotic. We don't know, but we're ready.

7:23Ben Meiselas:Yeah, we know. We've already known the true colors of this disgusting, psychopathic Trump regime. But they certainly revealed even more of a window, if that was even possible, into their behavior. And the reality is the message it sends is, how could you deal with these people? Like how, how do you realistically sit in a room, you know, looking across from these people, you know, the Bessens and the Hegseths and the Hoekstras and the Trumps and the Jade, you know, this crew of weirdo losers and even have a conversation. You can't speak with these people. I mean, you just, you just, you literally can talk with them.

8:04Ben Meiselas:And that's revealed itself even more with their behavior afterwards. I mean, it's like, you know, stalker, desperate, weirdo, weirdo stuff. It's like, dude, get it. We're going to have to get, we may have to invent Charlie, like the concept of international restraining orders, you know, for real, we have to create a new tribunal in the UN to keep them away. Well, I mean, we were talking about a$1 trillion trade relationship,$1 trillion. That was what was on the table. And the threats and intimidation that we were going to give up, that he was going to make us collapse, you're seeing dramatic shifts here, like unprecedented shifts.

8:50Our trade in a single year went up 11 % around the world. So whatever we lost in the United States, we more than made up with. in Europe and Asia, you don't shift trade 11 % in a single year. But we're doing that because we understand we have to get the hell out from under this relationship because this is a toxic, psychopathic relationship. This is a very abusive situation. Again, on the military front, you know, I talk to people who do contracting for the military in Canada. You know, military stuff, it's, you know, regular. You've got to fill out this form and that form, and it takes years.

9:27They're moving stuff around in six and eight months that would have been impossible to imagine before. We're getting ready for whatever comes next, but we will be ready. Meanwhile, again, you have the world watching the disintegration of empire. Now, what Donald Trump is fighting with Iceland today, like Iceland for crying out loud. I mean, they have a special department in Iceland that looks out for the ferries when they build buildings. I mean, that's what I love about Iceland. But, you know, we're over in Europe talking about trade and building permanent relationships and Donald Trump's threatening Iceland today.

10:00So people like, yeah, there needs to be some kind of international intervention just to take this guy out and send them off to whatever funny farm him and the rest of his toxic crew belong on.

10:12Ben Meiselas:Talk to us about what we're hearing, Canada-EU strengthening relations, similar to how you described it should go down a while back where you said, look, you don't want Canada to actually be in the European Union. A lot of bureaucracy and a lot of conflicts of law issues that are probably difficult to resolve, at least short term and perhaps even long term. And, you know, you've had some insight into that in your international travels. But you said, why even think about it like that? You can basically have the economic and defense alliances while maintaining Prime Minister Carney's position of being the leader of all of the mid powers and bringing Trans-Pacific and Transatlantic together.

10:53Well, Ben, I think the thing that's really maybe the good element here is that, again, things that took years and we're very stuck on detail. That's all getting blown out of the water. So, yeah, we negotiate with the Europeans. I mean, it's a nightmare in terms of regulatory issues that they focus on. But they are a major global trading block economy. It's super important for us to be there. I think what the Europeans are realizing with the United States is no longer trustworthy. They need allies, too. So we are sort of blowing past, throwing the paperwork out the window and saying, OK, shake a hand.

11:34How do we sit down? How do we negotiate? How do we start trading critical minerals? How do you guys start giving us submarine technology? How do we work together in the Arctic? This is happening at a very accelerated rate. And it's going to make Canada, it's going to change our position in the world it already has. But again, who is the United States looking to? Like they've come out and they've destroyed 80 years of relationships in Europe, supporting extremist parties, supporting Javier in Argentina, supporting the North Korean government and continuing to kiss the boots of Vladimir Putin at every possible opportunity.

12:13I mean, how is that going to make America stronger? Is this Donald Trump's just nihilistic death wish of destroying the United States as a world power? And he's doing a damn good job. My question is, is why is why is this being allowed to happen? Where are the voices speaking up? Where is the interventions in the United States to stop this destruction that's going on. Because again, we're watching the empire crumble on our border. We see that level of threat and menace coming from Donald Trump towards us, their next door neighbors. And we're thinking, we got to be ready for whatever happens. And right now, Canadians are more than ready for whatever is going to come.

12:52You know, I saw a recent poll, overwhelmingly, Canada was asked, do you view the US as friend, neutral or enemy, overwhelmingly enemy.

13:02Ben Meiselas:Like it's not even close anymore, you know, and just to even fathom that concept. And the crazy thing is, I mean, just think about it from our perspective here. Overwhelmingly, Charlie, the people here in the United States support you against us and against our guy. Like we're rooting for you to beat our guy because we know our guy's a sexual predator psychopath who is trying to hurt our friend. And we're like, what are you even doing here? And this has created a situation too, where I noted that, you know, China, which is already starting to put its foot in the water with China, China and Canada, you know, saying, let's maybe talk about EVs.

13:43Ben Meiselas:And we're seeing, you know, entry into that, you know, you're seeing opening up defense dialogue of just, you know, just, you know, nothing major, but it's major given the history of everything of let's start opening up dialogue and having discussions. And so all of this is happening. The rapidity at which the global world structure has changed. It seems it was, you know, that first year people were seeing like, is this guy for real Trump? What's going on? There's still the United States. It's freaking weird. And then, you know, it clicked. I don't know if it was, you know, the right when this, this catastrophic war accelerated it with Iran.

14:18Ben Meiselas:people oh got it weak loser you know but there was a moment charlie where it was like got it this guy's a loser he's a bum well well ben i'll throw it to you uh looking at it from another point of view we're on the 25th anniversary of 9 11 and it's bringing up a lot of mixed mixed emotions in canada right now because we were all looking for uh our little town of gander newfoundland which on 9-11, you know, 250 American planes had to land in Canada and all those people had to be looked after. But in Gander, this town of like 8 ,000 people had 7 ,000 stranded Americans land in this isolated town with no supplies.

14:59People opened their doors. People gave their homes up. People gave their vehicles up so the Americans could travel around. They had feasts. They had gatherings. So it's always in Canada that Gander moment is a really special thing. And when we think of 9-11 and the sacrifice and the fire crews and all the horrific loss, we always think of the goodness and gander. And on 9-11, the whole world, I mean, France, Germany, everyone is saying we are Americans now. And on this 25th anniversary, there's a lot of feelings in Canada because Pete Hoogster is going to be there. I guess he's got to be there as the ambassador.

15:34But people are like, wait a minute, dude, you're like threatening our sovereignty. You're insulting us. You're belittling us. and yet you want to be there while we commemorate something that we did as neighbors and friends. So it's, you know, how much the world has changed, how much the United States has changed from that moment at 9-11 when the whole world was in solidarity. And right now, nobody wants to be anywhere near these guys. People do not want Pete Higster at that event because they find him deeply offensive and openly undermining our sovereignty. So it's it's we're thinking about that as we think of 9-11 and probably we should be thinking about as a great sacrifice of all the people of what happened at 9-11.

16:18But these criminals, these monsters, these just scum are poisoning it for everyone. And I think that that's a real tragedy.

16:28Ben Meiselas:Before we go, Charlie, what's your message to Donald Trump and this weak, failing, collapsing regime right now that's frankly destroying everything America was? What's your message? Well, Donald, I know that you said that Mark Carney was responsible for making you the enemy of the Canadian people. And I just want to correct the record. I don't think it's fair to blame Mark Carney because every single Canadian in this country hates your guts, Donald. We hate you because you are a sexual predator. We hate you because you are a criminal. We hate you because you're just a weak, destructive, narcissistic fool who is destroying your country, destroying the greatness of the American people right now.

17:15And you're obsessed staying up all night posting slopaganda memes where you're thinking you're hurting us and that you're going to make us, like, get upset. Donald, we look at you and we think you are a pathetic criminal. You are going to go down in history as one of the worst tyrants and one of the most disgraceful men to ever hold office. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is looking at you and laughing. The Iranians are laughing at you. The Russians are laughing at you. The North Koreans are laughing at you. In Canada, we're not laughing. We're just getting ready and we're carrying on and we're going to do what we have to do.

17:52Because at the end of the day, Donald, you're going down in flames. You are on fire right now. Look at your rear end, Donald. Donald, you are on fire. We're watching it. It's going down. And we're going to be true, nor strong and free at the end of this. So do what you're going to do, Donald.
